Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Cats have also been around in the UK significantly longer than many other places. Here in Hawaii they’re a plague on native species that had no such predators before.
That's a big part of the difference. Cats in the old world are probably fine since everything there has evolved alongside them. But the native species in the Americas haven't had housecats to worry about until relatively recently in evolutionary terms.
I'm a outdoor cat person but in fairness one issue to consider is that while cats are natural in Europe, their current numbers and general location are something that's pretty unnatural. I definitely err on the side of not being concerned about it, but I do think it's something to consider as people have more pets.
Personally I have one cat that has brought in a single frog, and another that exclusively brings in recycling.
Yeah but Hawaii's ecosystem is different from the mainland, too. Every area is going to handle this differently.
